The New Montazeri

Sane’i is the perfect man to replace Montazeri. He represents the
same brand of moderate Islam that Montazeri espoused. This includes his
stance that women have equal rights with men
and can be judges and sources of jurisprudence. He has denounced
suicide bombings, considers nuclear weapons as being against the soul
of Islam and forbidden and perhaps shockingly, even believes that
followers of other religions if they are sincere would go to heaven. These are the qualities that endeared him to the late Montazeri and
this is the reason why today, thousands of people from around Iran
announced their willingness to defend him against the government.
